“an excellent mindset to have. especially in this particular field, you see miss Jewelbridge, it is generally undeniable that the present improves on the past, but there are things that fall by the wayside when you pursue too much progress too quickly. And when that thing is the next generation, that is a substantial problem. What the youth back then had was parents that invest themselves in the lives of their children, and measures are being taken that that becomes the norm once more, but what else they had was perspective, sons who idolized their fathers, or mothers, daughters that aimed for things other than the next party… the culture of violence, noise and sex, it is a result of having given up hope. they do not see a future for themselves. they lack perspective, that is our mission statement. be it that i teach them the crafts done by hand, the discipline of martial arts, or perhaps just show them to apply themselves in the little things. they will be met with small successes, and understand to take their future one day at a time. they will furthermore have better things to do than waste their lives, or worse, throw them away.”

“and here i ramble on as if you were but a student. I jsut wished to clarify on what the meaning of this place is to be.”
